Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how Channel Divinity works.
Imminent Darkness.
As an action, you choose a creature you can see and that can see you within 30 feet of you. The creature must make a wisdom saving throw, or become blinded for up to 1 minute. While blinded in this way, the creature can still see you as though you were illuminated in moonlight.
Crescent Strike.
You can use your Channel Divinity to cleave your enemies. When you land a weapon attack, you can use your Channel Divinity to deal additional radiant damage equal to your paladin level to the target of the attack and any creature of your choice adjacent to it.
Aura of Dusk
Starting at 7th level, you take on an aspect of the night, blending into the shadows. You gain darkvision out to 60 ft., or if you already have darkvision you increase it by 30 ft. You no longer suffer disadvantage on dexterity (Stealth) checks from wearing armor if you are in dim light or darkness.
Additionally, you and any allies within 10 feet of you are considered invisible while in dim light or darkness and are standing still.
At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.
Lunar Rush
Starting at 15th level, you begin to embody the encroaching nature of the moon. Your Imminent Darkness can now target a creature within 60 feet, and when a creature is under the effect of your Imminent Darkness, you can double your movement when moving towards that creature.
Chosen of the Moon
At 20th level, you are the Avatar of the Moon. As an action you gain the following benefits for up to 1 minute:
- When you are hit by a spell, you can use your reaction to halve the spell's damage against you, or nullify the spell's effect.
- Within 30 feet of you bright light becomes dim light and dim light becomes darkness.
- If you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you regain the use of your Channel Divinity.
Once you use this feature you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
